Last night, Jeramy had a boy's night out* (why does that not sound as cool as a "girls night out?"). He was giddy like a little school girl waiting to go though - it's like I never let him out or something...anyway, his friends came to get him at 9:30. I was already totally engrossed in my chic flick when he left. I heard him say from the door, "Don't lock it." And he leaves. My movie ends, I get up and walk to the front room. The door is unlocked. I remember him saying, "Don't lock it." and I go and check and sure enough, he had left his keys. Some of you might remember from a previous post that he is a little...nazi-ish about locking doors. I didn't realized that MAYBE it's rubbing off on me! I was bugged. I knew he was just a few houses away and I thought about running the keys to him, but I didn't.
I decided to run on the treadmill...but what if someone comes in and I don't hear them??? I decide to run, but when I am done, I check every corner of the house for the boogie man.
I decide I should do laundry...but what if someone comes in and I don't hear them???
Mabye I'll go have a bath...but what if someone comes in and I don't hear them??? But, if you know me, the bath won. The whole time I was in there I was a wreck...was that a noise?? Was that a shadow in the bedroom??
I get out and read the Ensign. I realize I am bored out of my mind and should just go to bed...but what if I fall asleep and I don't hear someone come in???
I lay down...what is that over in the corner? A person...no, just a shadow.
Did I check on the girls?? I get up. They are fine...Did something just move downstairs?? No.
I go back to bed. Can't sleep. Still stressing about the door being unlocked. Apparently I fell asleep because at 2:30, I did hear the door open and it was Jeramy. And I can guarantee he will not be going out again...without his keys!
*what is a 'boys night out' you might be asking yourself? A GIRLS night out usually involves dinner at a nice place, a movie, and lots of giggling. Well, apparently a boys night out involves "man food" such as potato chips, and pop. It requires an awesome media room with stadium seating, a 10 foot screen, HD projector, surround sound and recessed lighting and instead of giggling, there is the sound of aliens being shot down with big guns. Whatever. I'll take a girls night out any night over that!

I am glad they have boys night out too...the only problem is they stay out waaaayyyyyyy past bedtime and then I do too. Not good! We are both tired the next day and both grumpy too.
That sounds like the Andelin's theater room.
Yeah- no way I will sleep with the doors unlocked. Nope. It takes all of my will to leave the house alarm off when David's coming home late.
Heidi, you make me laugh!! I would probably have done the same thing!!
I lock the CAR door when he runs into the store real quick. Sorry, but at home he can ring the doorbell when he gets back! But then you're nicer than I am.
Boy's night out? Don't they get enough man-time at work? =o)
Ooh, your nice. I would have locked it and made him knock to come in. Then I could do what I want! Your nights sound like mine when Jess is on his "night outs". Why don't I ever do something fun?
